I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Gu Nian sat in the hall and waited silently. His son was gone, and his wife was in this situation now. He should wait until the head of the Wang family was a little more stable before talking about other things.

Xu Chongxiao sat silently by the side, not saying a word, his eyes slightly red, probably because he felt the same way.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Shouye walked into the lobby again, but this time he looked tired and his body was a little hunched.

After apologizing to the two of them, he continued speaking.

"Master, I, Wang Shouye, have been in the business world for half my life and have never suffered such a big loss.

So I would like to ask the Taoist priest to help me get rid of that evil spirit. If you have any request, please feel free to ask. As long as it can avenge my son, I, Wang Shouye, will never refuse. "

After a moment's silence, Gu Nian'an clasped his hands and said

“I came to visit the palace today to discuss the ghost baby matter with Patriarch Wang.

To be honest with Master Wang, the wife and child of Young Master Xu next to me were also harmed by the ghost baby.

Alas! The ghost baby of Patriarch Wang is vicious. If it cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, more people will be harmed by it. So I would like to ask Patriarch Wang to lend me a hand and jointly eliminate this scourge for Anyang City."

Wang Shouye's eyes were as cold as ice, and his tone was even more sinister.

"What the Taoist said is absolutely right. Whether it's for Chong'er or the people of Anyang City, the evil spirit must be eliminated. If there's anything I can help with, I will do my best."

“This is not the first time that the ghost baby of the Wang family head has appeared. I have heard from my master before that this kind of evil spirit has appeared in the border state of Muzhou.

Later, a Taoist master found a way to get rid of the ghost baby. When getting rid of the ghost baby, the master mainly used two magic tools, one is the three-yang rope, and the other is the blood of one hundred babies. "

Hundred Infants' Blood, Three Yang Ropes???

Wang Shouye had never heard of these two things. He was just a businessman, although he had heard a little about ghosts and monsters.

But he didn't know how to get rid of ghosts, so he asked with some doubt.

"Master, I don't know what the Three Yang Rope is, and what the Hundred Infants Blood is."

"The Sanyang Rope is made by soaking the blood of two extremely yang things, a black dog and a rooster, and then coating the straw rope with top-grade cinnabar. Finally, it is placed in the sun to dry and is made into a magical tool to exorcise evil spirits."

"As for the Hundred Infants Blood, it is a special medicine made by taking the blood of dozens or even hundreds of children under ten years old and supplementing it with the five poisonous substances. This thing is extremely attractive to evil spirits."

After hearing what Gu Nian'an said, the Sanyang Rope wouldn't take much time and he was confident that he could make a batch of it as soon as possible.

But when he heard the method of making Hundred Infants Blood, Wang Shouye's face changed immediately. This thing requires the blood of young children as the main ingredient, which he could never agree to.

Although Wang Shouye is not a good person, he is now eager to avenge his son.

But he couldn't do something like harming other children, and he needed the blood of so many children as medicine, which he absolutely couldn't do.

When Gu Nian'an saw Wang Shouye's strange expression, he immediately understood that the head of the Wang family might have thought something wrong.

So he quickly explained

“Patriarch Wang doesn’t need too much blood to refine the Hundred Infants Blood. Only a few drops, or a dozen drops, are enough for one child.

However, the blood must be from different children. The more children there are, the better the effect.

And Patriarch Wang must note that only blood from children under ten years old will be effective."

After he finished explaining, Wang Shouye's expression eased a little.

However, this also made him feel a little embarrassed for a while. It was difficult to find a hundred children under the age of ten, not to mention that he needed to take their blood.

Although taking a small amount of blood will not have any impact on their health, it is difficult for the children's parents to agree.

However, Wang Shouye thought about his son, and then thought about Qiu Niang who was still unconscious, and his eyes suddenly became cruel.

"Master, just rest assured. Wang will complete the materials for making the Three Yang Rope and Hundred Infants Blood as soon as possible."

"Master, if you have any other requests, please let me know. I will prepare them as soon as possible."

Gu Nian'an thought for a moment before continuing.

"I also need Patriarch Wang to help me prepare three things."

Gu Nian'an untied the damaged long sword from his waist, then slowly pulled it out of the scabbard, slightly raising the blade so that Patriarch Wang could see it more clearly.

"Master Wang, my sword is badly damaged. Could you please help me find a better weapon?"

This knife was given to me by Manager Song. I've been chopping trees and killing people in the past few months, and my knife is almost at its limit.

He didn't want something to go wrong with his weapons before he had even fought the ghost baby for a few moves. That would have been a tragedy.

He had inquired on the way to Anyang City and learned that high-quality weapons were in great demand. Not only were they expensive, but they were also hard to find.

Since the Wang family is wealthy and powerful, it shouldn't be a big problem for them to get a good weapon.

Wang Shouye looked at the large and small scratches on the blade and was secretly shocked.

The knife is a good one, made of fine iron, but such a good knife has been used in this state. I am afraid that hundreds of souls have died under the knife.

Or was it caused by a collision with a non-human monster?

"Don't worry, Taoist priest. I will definitely find a suitable weapon for you as soon as possible."

Seeing that Wang Shouye agreed, Gu Nian'an returned the long sword to the sheath before continuing.

"Secondly, I need a strong bow, preferably one with a weight of more than three stones, and equipped with ten fine iron long arrows so that I can kill the ghost baby from a distance."

Having hunted in the mountains for many years, he is very good at using bows and arrows.

Moreover, the scene he saw in the forest the day before made him somewhat concerned.

A few drops of blood can cause flowers and plants to wither, which shows that the ghost baby is extremely poisonous. If it can be killed from a long distance, Gu Nian'an does not want to fight him in close combat.

Hearing Gu Nian's request, Wang Shouye looked a little confused. After thinking for a while, he explained:

"Master, you may not know that the imperial court does not prohibit the use of weapons, but it has extremely strict control over bows and arrows.

It's okay if it's less than one stone, but a strong bow weighing more than one stone is not something that a private person can own. Once it is discovered that a person has privately possessed a strong bow, he will be imprisoned at best and exiled at worst, not to mention that the Taoist priest needs a strong bow weighing more than three stones.

Only the military can find something like this, so Wang can only try to help the Taoist find it, but there may not be any results. "

Gu Nian'an was a little surprised by this, but after thinking about it for a moment, he understood.

A one-stone strong bow has a pulling force of up to 120 kilograms and a shooting range of thirty to forty-five meters. It is effortless for an expert to pull it, and even pulling a two- or three-stone strong bow is not a difficult task.

Although he was not quite sure about the current situation of the imperial court, he could guess a thing from what he saw and heard along the way.

This is probably what it's like when corruption and corrupt officials are rampant in the court.

Therefore, it is understandable that the private possession of powerful bows is prohibited among the people. A martial arts master who is proficient in bows and arrows and has good eyesight, equipped with a powerful bow of more than three stones, can shoot a person from a hundred meters away as easily as shooting a rabbit.

If the restrictions on bows and arrows were lifted, haha! Those so-called high-ranking officials and nobles would have to find a way to get a set of armor with slightly stronger defensive power when they go out.

So Gu Nian'an bowed and said, "Master Wang, just do your best."

"Don't worry, Taoist priest. I have some friendship with Captain Li of the city defense army. I will give it a try."

His Wang family has been entrenched in Anyang City for many years and has some connections both in the official and military circles. They have also received a lot of benefits from the Wang family over the years. I think they should not refuse some small things.

Wang Shouye is serious about avenging his son. If anyone dares to stop him, no one will have an easy time.

Thinking of this, Wang Shouye narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. It was not so easy to get benefits from his Wang family.

Gu Nian'an was very determined to kill the ghost baby. If he couldn't find a strong bow, he would have to resort to hand-to-hand combat. Now it was just to add an extra layer of insurance.

"Master Wang, I have a third request. Can you please help me find a batch of animal traps, preferably the kind used to capture large wild animals?

By the way, Master Wang, whether it is a fine iron arrow or a trap, if it is convenient, please help me make them all using the method of refining the Sanyang Rope. I think the effect will be better. "

"No problem, Taoist priest, rest assured that I will arrange these things as soon as possible. Do you have any other requests?"

Gu Nian'an didn't think of other requests for a while.

But after thinking about it, I decided to remind you

“The blood of the Hundred Infants of Patriarch Wang has a strong attraction to ghost infants, so you must take protective measures when collecting blood from young children.

It is best not to keep collected blood in one place.

If we accidentally attract a ghost baby when we are not ready, it will be troublesome."

Hearing this, Wang Shouye clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, Taoist priest. I know this, and I will definitely do a good job of preserving it."

"I don't know where you are staying now, so why don't I ask the servants to clean up two rooms for you and Young Master Xu to stay in the palace for a few days.

Once the preparations are complete, we can discuss together how to get rid of the ghost baby."

Living in the palace? Not impossible, but not necessary. He still has things to do and it would be a bit inconvenient.

“Thank you, Master Wang, but I still have some things to prepare.

Young Master Xu and I are staying at the Yunxiang Inn. Once you have prepared what I need, just send someone to let me know and we will be there soon."

Seeing that Gu Nian'an declined and Wang Shouye did not force him, the two discussed some details before he took Xu Chongxiao and said goodbye and left the palace.
